The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 858 The Hypocrite

"Master Gu! Now the Yi Mansion has been devastated by the invasion of thieves. It is too dangerous for you to live in the Yi Mansion. The magistrate is busy with work and forgets to eat and sleep for the people every day. I think he has never been free. He didn't clean up the dust for Lord Gu. It's just love. Keyuan. The two adults worry about the country and the people, which makes this old man really ashamed."

"It's better to let the old man be the host, please Master Gu and Master Liao to discuss the treasure map together, what do you two think?"

When Qu Huaiyun saw that Gu Chengyu brushed Liao Zhifu's face, Liao Zhifu's face was extremely ugly.It was only then that I invited them out loud, which was considered to save the prefect of Liao Quan's face.

Gu Chengyu was overjoyed, and originally thought about how to speak, but Qu Huaiyun's words were like sleepiness and sent a pillow.

He hesitated for a while, looked at the chaos around him, and then agreed.

"Forget it! I'll trouble Patriarch Qu, and I'll probably spend a few more days with Patriarch Qu."

Gu Chengyu agreed, and made Qu Huaiyun feel at ease.As long as Gu Chengyu is willing to go, his plan will be half successful.

Otherwise, if he stayed in Yi's house, then Yi Lanshan could mess up his affairs!

In order to get angry with herself, Yi Lanshan might not even care about the treasure map, and would only be happy if she suffered a loss.

The crescent moon hangs in the dark night, surrounded by stars all over the sky.

This is not a dark and stormy night, so it is not a good time to kill people.

A black shadow jumped on the roof, but after a while, it stopped on a roof.

He looked around as if trying to get his bearings.

Then he jumped forward again, and finally squatted down.

In the study room under the roof, the candlelight was flickering, and two figures were printed on the window.The two figures are very close together, this scene can't help but make people fantasize about it.

People who don't know will naturally think wildly, but the people in the room are two men, and what they are doing has nothing to do with romance.

One of them had a big belly, the other was thin and slender.

"How is it? Are you asleep?" The thin figure approached the person opposite and asked in a low voice.

"We've given him so much alcohol that he's already passed out. Don't worry! He won't wake up until tomorrow."

The plump figure's tone revealed complacency, mixed with a trace of disdain.

The black shadow on the roof slightly moved the tile under his feet, and then looked down at the two people in the room.

"You have to be careful, since this person can be sent by the emperor, he must not be an ordinary person."

The thin figure was Liao Cheng whom Gu Chengyu had just met during the day, and the fat figure opposite him was Qu Huaiyun, who was it?
"Don't worry, my lord, this old man will definitely pay attention. But this old man sees him as a paper tiger. Didn't he get played around by Yi Lanshan before? Besides, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake. Whoever he is, as long as he reaches the boundary of our Hejian Mansion, there is no evidence. He can't do anything to us."

Qu Huaiyun didn't take Liao Cheng's words seriously. In his eyes, Gu Chengyu was still young and not too learned.

But when it comes to intrigue and strategy, it's far from it.

"Hmph! I also think that he is too rigid in his work. Who is not a smooth guy who has stayed in the officialdom for a long time? I think he just doesn't know how to behave. I guess he has offended many people in the court. The emperor sent him here , it is probably because he is smelly and hard like a stone in a latrine. With such a temperament, it is easy to handle things when he comes to Hejian Mansion."

Liao Cheng was brooding over Gu Chengyu's rejection of him during the day, thinking that Gu Chengyu would not be a human being, and made him lose face.

The man in black on the roof curled his lips, this Liao Cheng was not the same as him.

Liao Cheng and Xia Qing worked hand in hand, even if he was promoted in the future, he would deal with him together with Xia Qing, he was too lazy to give Liao Cheng a good face.

The black shadow on the roof was Gu Chengyu. He got drunk at night, so he naturally stayed in Qufu.

Qu Huaiyun probably had another purpose, and he tried his best to invite him to live in the mansion.

At night, let Ming Mo pretend to be himself, lie on the bed, avoid Lu Chen, and he came out to explore the way.

Qu Huaiyun would definitely not hand over the treasure map, so he had to find a way to steal it.

However, this Liao Cheng will definitely be his enemy in the future, and he must give him a big gift before he leaves.

If you can find the opponent's handle, it would be great to pull this person off the horse.

"My lord is right, but this lord Gu's temper is really upright, and he doesn't save you any face."

Qu Huaiyun quickly nodded in agreement, seeing Liao Cheng's ugly face, he also muttered in his heart.

This person looks like a gentleman on the surface, but in his heart he is even more greedy and small-minded than this villain.If he is a real villain, then this person is a hypocrite.

He gives this person a lot of benefits every year, and his eldest son is the prefect of Sunan Prefecture, so this person gives him some convenience.

If it wasn't for being able to rely on Xia Shoufu behind him, would he have respected Liao Cheng so much?
His eldest son is at the same level as Liao Cheng, and he still works in the wealthy Sunan Mansion, which is a fat job.

If Liao Cheng hadn't relied on Xia Shoufu, he wouldn't have given him face at all.

But this person's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and he has been dragging on, not recommending for himself and his eldest son.He originally wanted to give up and find another way.

But the appearance of the treasure map brought a turning point in this matter.

Their Qu Mansion had obtained the half treasure map a long time ago, even earlier than the Yi family.

And this half of the treasure map is their Qu family's nomination certificate, and they will rely on this half of the treasure map to rely on Xia Shoufu.

It's a pity that they are suffering from nowhere to go, and they are asking for connections everywhere, trying to rely on them.But it doesn't matter that Liao Cheng knew about this matter and came to him.

Liao Cheng was straightforward this time, and said that if he collected all the treasure maps, he would recommend them.

"You have to hide the treasure map well, don't let those people touch it. Now there are many people staring at you in Qu Mansion and Yi Mansion, don't let others steal the treasure like Yi Lanshan picture."

Liao Cheng said meaningfully, occasionally staring at Qu Huaiyun with his eyes.

"Don't worry, my lord! This old man will not be as stupid as Yi Lanshan. Those people will definitely not find it, let alone think that this old man put the treasure map there."

"Oh? Where is it?" Liao Cheng's eyes widened, and he blurted out what was on his mind.

"Cough! Be careful that walls have ears. It's better not to say it out loud. Please don't worry. As long as you recommend Qu Shi and speak a few words for Qu Shi in front of Mr. Chief Assistant, then the old man will enshrine the treasure map with both hands." superior."

Qu Huaiyun sneered in his heart, does Liao Cheng think he is a fool?How can it be possible to tell where the treasure map is?
When he didn't know that Liao Cheng had ulterior motives for the Qu family?He has his own way to deal with Liao Cheng.Qu Huaiyun secretly made up his mind that this time he must meet Lord Shoufu.
